Eminem Took a Knee During Super Bowl Half Time Show
The rapper knelt in an apparent show of support for Colin Kaepernick
Prior to the performance, Puck reported that Eminem had planned to kneel, but that the NFL was refusing to allow it.
UPDATE (2/14, 9:52 a.m. ET): A spokesperson for the NFL told The New York Times that league officials had watched the rapper take a knee in rehearsals all week, adding that players, coaches and personnel were free to have taken a knee before Sunday's game without risking disciplinary action.
Reports all suggested that the NFL had flagged Dr. Dre's lyric "still not loving police" (from his single "Still D.R.E.") as potentially problematic — although that also happened.
